Soil is alive, and it is so much more than dirt. It provides life to the vegetation and so many mini creature species. Soil is home to billions of microorganisms- bacteria, fungus, and more and larger organisms like ants, insects, and earthworms. All the organisms play an important role in the soil’s ecosystem. Some organisms have a special relationship with plants; it brings hard to reach nutrients directly to plant roots.
A healthy soil ecosystem ensures plants have easy access to air, water, and nutrients. Let us look at some tips for keeping the soil healthy:
Know the current state: Testing the soil and knowing the current situation is the first step. Test results will inform you of the soil’s water, nutrient, and organic matter level. Provide necessary fertilizers and organic compost to the soil.
Organic matter: Organic matter comprises living things, dead things, and residues. It contains all the necessary nutrients needed for wholesome plant growth. Plants need optimum nutrients for healthy growth, just like humans. Instead of using synthetic fertilizers, feed plants with cannabis mix. This organic matter also improves soil’s physical properties such as aeration and water retention, allowing for healthy root growth.
Provide proper water and air: For optimum growth of plants, feed them with proper water and air. Microenvironments present in the soil create burrows in the soil, giving easy access to water and air to reach the plant soil.
Generation after generation, the key to a healthy life is soil. Soil is an ultimate source of nutrients. Where do plants get all the nutrients humans want? From soil, plants get essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals which enables plants to grow strong, sturdy root systems, disease resilients, and delicious yield. Hence keeping soil healthy and rich with nutrients is our responsibility. Use organic products for the betterment of the soil.
